Henri Meschonnic was a linguist, poet, translator of the Bible and
one of the most original French thinkers of his generation. He
strove throughout his career to reform the understanding of
language and all that depends on it. His work has had a shaping
influence on a generation of scholars and here, for the first time,
a selection of these are made available in English for a new
generation of linguists and philosophers of language. This Reader,
featuring sixteen texts covering the core concepts and topics of
Meschonnic's theory, will enrich, enhance and challenge your
understanding of language. It explores his key ideas on poetics,
the poem, rhythm, discourse and his critique of the sign.
Meschonnic's vast oeuvre was continuously preoccupied with the
question of a poetics of society; he constantly connected the
theory of language to its practice in various fields and
interrogated what that means for society. In exploring this
fundamental question, this book is central to the study and
philosophy of language, with rich repercussions in fields such as
translation studies, poetics and literary studies, and in
redefining notions such as rhythm, modernity, the poem and the
subject.
